Excellently done website.

Finland doesn't know existence or proper categories of various kumquats?

I was wondering whatever happened to the Fortunellas as a major group? Although no longer "officially" classified in the Citrus genus, we know very well how close they are to citruses, from grafting, cross pollination and making hybrids.

The Calamondin is one of them, they accepted the scientific name as Citrus mitis while in fact it is a fortunella hybrid.

If I were to query their database for uniqueness of groups as posted, The only listed major groups are:

Blood oranges
Citrons
Deep blood oranges
Grapefruit
Late juicy oranges
Lemons
Light blood oranges
Limes
Limes / Lemons
Mandarins
Navel oranges
Pomelos
Sour oranges
Sweet early oranges
Sweet oranges
Tangelos


Take note, they may love the blood oranges so much that they have 3 separate entries of blood orange types: the regular blood, light blood, and dark blood oranges.


But from the main site they only have these major groups, still no kumquats:
limes
sour oranges
pomelos
lemons
citrons
grapefruit
mandarins
sweet oranges

I already emailed the site owner to include Kumquats and Australia's Microcitruses as distinct groups.
